U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz set the record straight on Wednesday when he debunked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greenes (R-GA) recent claims that agents found an explosive near the southern border in January.
The bizarre allegation first surfaced during a Homeland Security Committee hearing Wednesday that House Republicans performatively planned to take place near the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas. All of the Democrats on the panel opted to boycott the hearing, arguing that Republicans were using the field hearing to score political points.
Unfortunately, it has become clear that Republicans planned to politicize this event from the start, breaking with the committees proud history of bipartisanship, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) told the Washington Examiner this week. Instead of a fact-finding mission to develop better border security and immigration policies, Republicans are traveling to the border to attack the administration and try to score political points with their extreme rhetoric despite having voted against the resources border personnel need.

They found a Prayer Rug at the border, and republicans were in hysterics because obviously Al Qaida was sneaking across the border. Turned out to be an old t-shirt.
